I read about shared lucid dreaming somewhere... Where you actually go find another person while they're dreaming and you can communicate, etc. with them that way, then when you wake up both of you remember the dream. So, I just want to know if this is actually possible(?).
I wanted to do the same thing! I'm not sure of the answer, though.
I might get flamed for this.. but of course it's impossible.
Some people say it is, some people say it isn't. I am personally very sceptical but there's a section of this message board that deals exclusively with the paranormal side of lucid dreaming, shared dreams, astral travel etc. If you're interested in shared dreaming I'd check it out.
no. its not possible. how the hell would you "connect" to someone else's mind? you arent transported to another plane of existence when you dream. its only your subconcious' perception of the world. the mind is not like the internet.
how do you all know this? Why do you think it is all in your head. It might be, but we dont know
I'm not really sure about shared dreaming. I'm personally sceptical, however it would be nice if you could visit your friends in dreams.
Woah, woah, hold up, everyone.
Synchronized dreaming, or whatever you want to call it, is real. I had one when I was much younger.
I understand that it sounds impossible, but don't jump to conclusions like that.
Once, my father and his brother decided to try a shared dream. My uncle thought up a password, and my father, that same night, had a lucid dream... sadly, it didn't work. In the dream, my father went up to my uncle and asked for the password. He replied "Apple10101". The next day, my father called his brother on the phone and found that the real password was "Cheesecake".
cutterkk,
you DREAMT about having a shared dream. there is no way to connect to someone else's mind.. if it was true, people could speak to each other through their minds. don't think thats possible.
nice try, though.
Well hold on there a second, I don't believe it it much either, but lets try to keep an open mind... :wink:Quote:

And I'm absolutely certain that I wasn't dreaming that we both remembered the exact same dream. Nice try, though. :roll:
haha what a load of bull.
you have a strong, healthy imagination.
Dude, you're on a forum about lucid dreaming. Try explaining that to someone who knows nothing about it, and you're pretty much in my situation right now. (if you want to call it a situation)Quote:

so I may be sceptical, but I'm open to possibilities. And can we try not to argue.
I remember once at my cousins me and my bro were sleeping on the floor.
I remember having a dream were there were two random DCs and him. Me and the DCs started to walk away from him, and I turn around and see him about 20 feet away. He lifts his arm up as if he's about to start waving. At that exact moment I wake up and I'm facing my brother who's laying 4-5 feet away from me. He sleep talked saying "Hey guys, wait for me!" - and I'm sitting there thinking "no way... it can't be!?!" - so I start shaking him and he wakes up. I ask him what he was dreaming about - "uhh... I don't remember", damn! There were went my only chance for a validation :(
I think it's possible, though extremely rare, that two minds may somehow be able to communicate with each other. Will all the electric signals going off in our heads during dreaming, maybe even scientifically, the magnetic fields that are produced - can maybe be picked up by another brain, and translated back to electric signals. That wouldn't explain people having shared dreams that are miles apart though.
Funny, the shared dream I had involved me and my brother as well, and I woke up speaking what I was saying in the dream.
It's very random, but I suppose I'd better describe it a little. For one reason or another, me and my family were in Italy. We were eating at an outdoor restaurant. I was about to eat some sausage when we suddenly went into a nearby building for something important. The building was very tall, and we went to the the top, into a strange room. It was a regular room, but it was a "movie threatre" of some kind, except it just had people sitting in a circle around a TV. I looked out the window, and noticed that there was a dog below, eating the food we hadn't finished yet. I woke up saying, "Aww, I didn't even get to eat the sausage..."
My brother woke up at the exact same time, and I asked him about it the following day. He told me he remembered the exact same dream.
I have had a shared lucid dream with my cuzin. i had just realized i was lucid dreaming, so i conjured up a door and i imagened my cuzin on the othr side and opened the door. there she was. we flew on magic carpets and then she just disappeared, so i woke myself up and asked what she just did in the last 3 minutes. she said she had just waken up. i asked her if she had remembered any dreams and she said..."well, i remember one about flying on a magic carpet with you..."
case closed.
its reel.

I believe you, and I believe a lot of the shared dreaming stories so I believe shared dreaming exists, but unfortunately there's no way to prove it unless everyone on Earth experiences it.Quote:

Yeah, it happens MUCH less frequently than lucid dreaming(hardly ever), so there's no scientific proof that it exists yet, and since it can't be triggered manually, there's no way of testing if it exists.Quote:

I fear that it might only work with people who are sleeping relatively in close proximity. All 3 of of the dreams mentioned here involved people in the same room/house, which would make testing even more complicated.

(to a point, because my dream memory kinda stunk :P) I don't remember a whole lot of it now, since this was at least a year ago, but in the dream we were just walking in a park, and we both remembered the exact same place in some detail the next day when talking on the phone... Anyway, we had both figured out it was a dream once we were talking to each other, but I remember that I started drifting off into another dream, and at that point in the dream he said he remembered me just disappearing. After that we tried meeting up on purpose, but it didn't work so well. Has anyone here had success starting a shared dream on purpose?
From a logical, scientific standpoint, no, it's not possible.
From the majority of the Beyond Dreaming community, yes it is.
I am currently conducting an experiment with a friend. He has recently started lucid dreaming, he hasn’t had a lucid yet though. Anyway, next time I have a lucid dream I plan to, with his permission, pull him into my dream, or go into his. I get him lucid, then ask him questions which I don’t know the answers too, then I will tell him things he doesn’t know about me. Then we will compare facts in real life, see if the answers given to me by him were real, if so, we have an answer, if not it was only my mind conjuring a character of him.
my ex and i once had a shared dream about each other although it wasnt a lucid shared dream cause we didnt know we were dreaming, we were just blissfully holding hands and shit...i guess it was easier for us back then cause we were kids and apparently little kids have better dream recall than adults....
